It's that time of the year when gardens are bursting with produce, especially tomatoes at our house, and the wife has been bravely facing the perils of harvesting into the darkening hours. Just last night she made a haul that filled several cake pans, bowls, and soup pots. Take a gander at that tomato harvest! Peppers large and small are coming in, and the one big tomatio plant is threatening to take over the yard, with its long reach adorned with its fruit on the make.

Raspberries galore

We were also able to score quite a haul of raspberries from a friend's garden while she was away (with permission, of course). So now the wife has set herself a task of preserving this haul, using a borrowed juicer, our dandy stove, a kitchen, her pots and pans, and her many wily ways.

All this while we're also into the first weeks of classes AND cleaning up a mess that our deadbeat renters made before they skipped out.
